Flickassist

Flickassist helps trade plate passengers connect with trade plate drivers to arrange lifts

Hoping to revolutionise the journeys of trade plate drivers in the UK, Andrew came to me with the idea for Flickassist in 2018: a trade plate driver look-up system that allows plater journey matching to easily arrange and offer lifts, utilising Google Maps API for geolocation and geocoding, and SMS notifications for drivers.

Working with another local developer, Gareth Griffiths, we designed and developed a bespoke WordPress website complete with performant WordPress theme and integral plugin. Utilising a proprietary matching algorithm the website intelligently pairs up drivers that are likely to cross paths during the course of their work enabling them to offer each other lifts between locations, helping them get to their next appointment without hassle.

The site went live in 2019 but getting it into the hands of drivers was unfortunately hampered by covid and associated lockdowns. Andrew is looking to drive forward interest in Flickassist in 2023 and beyond.

    We wanted to update our old website, Jem came highly recommended and I can see why. She had lots of great ideas and design skills, nothing was too much trouble, with very prompt replies to our emails. The end result blew me away, and I would recommend her web design services to anyone. 100% total satisfaction.

    Jem’s knowledge and experience of the WordPress platform has proved invaluable to Source in the time that she has been working with us. Her ability to quickly and efficiently build a WordPress website from the visuals provided is second to none – as is her willingness to support our in-house development team with their WordPress projects. Source would have no hesitation in recommending Jem to anyone looking for an experienced WordPress developer for their project or agency.

    Jem developed our new website on time and to budget. She worked through the detail excellently and we got a superb end product that was optimised for web and mobile. We were highly impressed by her approach and knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to embark on such a project.

    Working with Jem has been nothing but a pleasure. From the get go she was friendly and understanding. She knew exactly what I wanted and already had a plan in place from the first phone call!

    She kept to the schedule she laid out and was very transparent the whole way through and I cannot recommend her enough. Even when problems arised (admittadly my own fault) she sorted them out without a fuss. She responded to every question I had in a professional and curteous manner.

    I will definitely be using her in the future for any WordPress work than I need.
